"Jeffrey Mechanick, MD - AACE 2018 Full Interview" - Joy Pape
In an exclusive interview during the AACE 2018 convention, Jeffrey Mechanick, MD, clinical professor of medicine, endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, talks about transcultural endocrinology and gives a summary of the recent activities for a program focused on diabetes care across America. “The word ‘transcultural’ you could argue is a little bit of a made-up word but what it really describes is the process of taking evidence-based recommendations for a very specific medical problem, in this case, diabetes care, from a source population, a source culture with a certain distribution of races and ethnicities, and then, making it portable for a target population with perhaps a different culture, and within that culture, a different distribution of ethnicities and races,” said Dr. Mechanick.
